Enterprise Development (ED) is a relatively new field in South Africa and it lacks definition even in large companies. Support for ED contributes towards a company’s BBBEE score ; a range of possibilities exist for supporting SME’s through supplier development, direct financial support, access to facilities, mentoring, skills training and identification of niche markets. ExecuThink looks forward to assisting large companies with the development of the ED programmes and in turn, increasing their BBBEE scores.
